Editorial Review:
In their own classrooms, through their popular texts, and in the conferences they lead, Bob Johnson and Pat Kuby have inspired hundreds of thousands of students to see statistics and all its usefulness. This new ADVANTAGE SERIES version of Robert Johnson and Patricia Kuby's ELEMENTARY STATISTICS, 9th Edition represents the 30th anniversary of their flagship title. This comprehensive text translates the language of statistics into approachable everyday terminology through its clear exposition, real-world examples, and interesting, applicable case studies. The authors promote the learning of statistics in a context that relates to personal experience. The flexibility of technology coverage (MINITAB, Excel, and TI-83 output and instructions throughout), the wealth of instructor supplements, and the expanded opportunities for online enrichment make this the easiest text for students to learn from and for teachers to teach from. As part of the ADVANTAGE SERIES, this new version will offer all the quality content you've come to expect from Johnson and Kuby sold to your students at a significantly lower price.
